As many in the parish will know this group was established to support those who volunteer to work with assisted pilgrims during the Salford Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes each year. Currently the group consists of a small number of parishioners from Middleton, Heywood and other neighbouring parishes. We have planned a number of social events to raise funds to support this. Some of the social events that have been planned and we hope that you will be able to join us. Friday 13th March, St Patrick’s Night Social Event in St Peter’s Hall, Middleton. Friday 24th April Quiz Night in St Peter’s Hall, Middleton and Sunday 31st May Afternoon Tea in St Peter’s Hall, Middleton.

If there are any parishioners who are keen to join the group and become a volunteer then please email: lourdes.pilgrimage@dioceseofsalford.org.uk and mention the Middleton and Heywood Lourdes group.
